Rate Book 1883-84.JPG

Date picture taken (to nearest decade for older photos): 
2013

I've just dug out this photo of the Rate Book page for a part of Queen's Road in 1883-84 that I must have overlooked when querying the renumbering of Queen's Road and the location of the National Hotel/Inn/Tavern between the 1860s and 1880s. This page shows alternative numbers for eleven of the properties with even numbers all under I.L. 5 Sec. A (not I.L. 95 A as before). So the last two properties, nos. 200 and 200A, which are the Boarding House and the licensed National Hotel respectively, become nos. 222 and 224.

Peak Renumbering

This covers the period 1904 -1960. There was a further renumbering that took effect on 1st September 1960 to give the present peak numbering system but I have not found a complete record of the change online.
